Question: A block ( W 1 ) with dimensions as shown, a = 2 6 in . , and b = 5 5 i n .

A block (W1) with dimensions as shown, a=26 in., and b=55in., sits on a sloped surface, with =32, and is connected to a second block (W2) with a belt passing over four cylinders. What is the weight of the second block, W2, necessary to cause the first block to move (check all movement cases) if W1=247lb and all surfaces have a coefficient of friction, s=0.41?
